Heart vs Head is a dramatic photo series that focuses on and visualizes the internal turmoil of dealing with mentally and emotionally taxing situations, the struggle to pick which part of yourself to follow the logical path or the emotional path, both paths have their own vices and virtues, apathy and impulsivity, critical thinking and empathy. To walk away is to destroy a part of yourself, though this is not entirely true.
Amber explores these themes in a harsh and dramatic light, using life-like weapons and staged fight or flight scenes within their work, they tend to explore the inner most workings of the self, divulging the inside and bringing it to the outside, whilst also carrying powerful messages within those themes. Humans are not innately dangerous; we are raised to believe the things we believe, based on our environment, which can hinder the way we learn to cope or refrain us from get help for these taxing situations at all. It takes us as we are to get help and to learn from the people before us, you are not alone nor a burden for getting help, it may be the best thing you’ll ever do.
